Hello All,
I am working on calendar application & I had seen the calendar in the link
http://playground.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/EventCalendar?month=5 I
personally feel this calendar needs a lot of modifications & a lot of new
features to be implemented. Presenting my ideas for the new & modified
calendar I need some help on the implementation of these ideas.
My ideas are:
- 1. I had seen that page reloads when someone wishes to go to next
month calendar I think this should not be there. The application should be
made such a way that it should open the next month calendar without loading
which can be implemented using Javascript very easily.
- 2. The topic of event should be available on the date itself as a
background of date column. This can be implemented very easily & is very
useful too. It can tell the user events on that date just by watching the
calendar.
- 3. When the user moves his mouse over the image column the column
should enlarge with different background color & will show the details of
events on that day. Implementing this using Ajax.
- 4. Calendar should import all the events from the wiki & user
can modify & delete that event if he wishes. This would be done in a very
user friendly manner using Ajax if the browser supports else just by form
submission method.
- 5. Modifiable themes & CSS option should be there so user can
modify the calendar as he wishes.
- 6. Calendar should be like a gadget which can be placed anywhere
on the page.
- 7. Last but not the least multilingual support should be there.
This will be the important part of the calendar application.
Working on this project I think I can implement the ideas 1-5 ,but in 6th &
7th idea I need help. I don`t know how to make calendar like a gadget & how
one can provide multilingual support where events can be placed in different
languages. Someone help me please to implement these ideas……
